 The process of leading and directing individuals and teams within an
organization toward the accomplishment of shared objectives is referred
to as organizational leadership. It entails establishing a goal, coming up
with plans, and inspiring staff to collaborate well. Proficient
organizational leaders have attributes including robust communication
abilities, compassion, flexibility, and the capacity to make difficult
choices. They establish a productive workplace that encourages growth,
innovation, and teamwork. In addition, giving and receiving feedback,
assigning tasks, and appreciating team members' contributions are all
components of organizational leadership. Long-term sustainability and
organizational success are the ultimate goals of organizational
leadership.
let's conceptualize..

In organizational leadership, leaders

help set strategic goals for the
organization while motivating
individuals within the organization to
successfully carry out assignments in
order to realize those goals. In the
school setting, the school leader
helps set the goals/targets for the
school and motivates teachers,
parents, learners, non-teaching
personnel and other members of the
community to do their task to realize
the school goals.
how it works...
Organizational leadership works towards
what is best for individual members and
what is best for the organization as a group
at the same time. Organizational leadership
does not sacrifice the individual members
for the sake of the people nor sacrifice the
welfare of the group for the sake of
individual members. Both individual and
group are necessary.
 Leadership Vs
Management

Are leadership and management

synonymous? Is a leader a manager
or is a manager a leader? If I am a
good leader, does it follow that I am
also a good manager? Or if I am a
good manager. am I at the same time
a good leader? Not necessarily.
 LEADERSHIP
Leadership is the process of inspiring and guiding
individuals or groups towards achieving a common goal or
vision. It involves setting direction, communicating
effectively, motivating others, and creating an environment
where people feel valued and engaged. Leaders are often
charismatic and have the ability to influence others through
their actions and words. They are strategic thinkers who
can adapt to changing circumstances and make tough
decisions when necessary. Effective leadership requires
strong interpersonal skills, empathy, and the ability to
inspire confidence in others.
 MANAGEMENT
Management is the process of planning, organizing,
leading, and controlling the resources of an organization to
achieve its goals. It involves coordinating and overseeing
the work of others to ensure that tasks are completed
efficiently and effectively. Managers are responsible for
setting objectives, allocating resources, monitoring
progress, and making decisions that support the
organization's strategy. They also play a key role in
motivating and developing their team members, as well as
maintaining a positive work environment. Effective
management requires strong communication skills,
analytical thinking, and the ability to make sound
judgments based on available information.
 A school head leads the school and community to formulate the
vision, mission, goals, and school improvement plan. This is a
leadership function. S/he sees to it that this plan gets well
implemented on time and so ensures that the resources needed are
there, the persons to do the job are qualified and available. This is a
management function. Imagine if the school head is only a leader.
You have the vision, mission, goals and school plan but no
implementation. The plan is good only in paper. If you do the task
of a manager only, you will be focusing on the details of the day-
of-day implementation without the big picture, the vision and
mission. So it big picture for connect and meaning. This means that
it is best that a school leader is both a leader and a manager.

Leadership
styles
 Autocratic
Autocratic leaders do decision making by themselves

Consultative
Consultative leaders allow participation of the members of the organization by consulting them but make
the decision themselves This is what happens in consultation meetings called by school when they
increase tuition fees. Sometimes education stakeholders get disappointed that their suggestions are not
carried after school leaders have consulted them. They do not understand that consultation does not
necessarily mean approval of stakeholders suggestions.

Laissez faire
In laissez faire or free-rein leadership style, leaders avoid responsibility and leave the members of the
organization to establish their own work. This leadership style leads to the kaya-kanys mentality, one
weaknesses of the Filipino character. There will be no problem if the situation is deal, each member of
the organization has reached a level of maturity and so if members are left to themselves they will do
only what is good for the organization. On the other hand, it will be chaos If each member will do as
he/she please even if it is against the common good.
 The situational leadership model
In situational leadership, effective leaders adapt their leadership style
to the situation of the members of the organization readiness and
willingnes of group members. Paul Hersey and Kenneth H. Blanchard (1996)
characterized ledership styles in terms of the amount of task behavior and
relationship behavior that the leader provides to the followers.
They categorized all leadership styles into four behavior styles,
which they natbed S1 to S4.
 S1
Selling / Directing
Individuals lack the specific skills required
by the job in the hand and they
are willing to work the task
. They are novice but enthusiastic
S3
Participating / Supporting
Individuals are experienced and able to do
the task but lack the confidence of the
willingness to take on responsibility
S2
Telling / Coaching
Individuals are more able to do the task however,
they are demotivated for this job or task.
Unwilling to do the task
S4
Delegating
Individuals are experienced at the task,
and comfortatie with their own ability
to do it well. They are able and willing
to not only do the task, but to take responsibility for
the task
If the group member is able, willing and confident (high madness), the leader uses a delegating
leadership style The leader tums over the responsibility for
decisions and implementation to the members. On the other hand,
if the group members have low readiness,
unable and unwilling, the leader resort to telling the guup members what to do.
In short, competent members of the organization require less
specific direction than less competent members. Less competent people
need more specific direction than more competent people.
Among these leadership styles, no one style is considered best for all leaders
to use all the time. Effective leaders need to be flexible, and must adapt
themselves according to the situation, the readiness and willingness
of the members of the organization.
 Servant Leadership
Servant leadership is a leadership philosophy that emphasizes the importance
of serving others, particularly those in one's team or organization.
It is characterized by a focus on empowering and developing others,
rather than solely on personal power or achievement. Servant leaders prioritize the
growth and well-being of their followers, and seek to create an environment that
fosters collaboration, trust, and mutual respect. They believe that by putting the
needs of their team first, they can create a culture of shared purpose and success.
 Transformational Leadership
Robert Kennedy once said: "Some men see things as they are. and ask why.
I dream of things that never were, and ask why not Those who dream of things that never were and ask
why not are sttransformational leaders.
The transformational leader is not content with status qou and sees the need to transform the way the
organization thinks, relates and does things.
The transformational school leaders sees school culture as it could be and should be, not as it is and so
plays his/her role as visionary, engager, learner, collaborator, and instructional leader.
As a transformational Ieader he/she makes positive changes in the organization by collaboratively
developing new vision for the organisation and mobilizing members to work towards that vision.

To do this the transformational leadership combines charisma, inspirational leadership and intellectual
stimulation to introduce innovation for the transformation of the organination.
 Sustaining Change
For reforms to transform, the innovations introduced by the transformational leader must be institutional
and sustained. Or else that innovation is simply a passing fad that loses its flavor after a time. A proof
that an innovation introduced has transformed the organization is that the result
or effect of that change persists or ripples even when the transformative leader is gone or is transferred
to another school or gets promoted in the organization.

We feel most comfortable with our old pair or shoes. We like to live in our comfort zones and so
sometimes we dont welcome change. And yet if we want improvement in the way we do things in our
organization, in our school or if we want to improve in life we must be willing to change. The
transformational leader ought to deal with resistance to change to succeed. There will always be resisters
to change.
